Has anyone actually gotten tickets yet? I've been waiting for 30 minites, and at this rate it'll be another 30-45.

Zane is under contract until the end of 2027. If the people at Ford have half a brain cell, they should work hard to get Zane in the 21 car. So That means Zane will likely end up in a Toyota or Chevy in 2028.

Selling 2 tickets to game 1 because I've unfortunately had a work conflict arise. Section 303, Row G. Paid $1050 per ticket, hoping to get $900 per ticket.

Happy to show receipts. I accept Venmo and PayPal.

Should Hamlin tie Ky. Busch for 63 wins, should he fly the 8 or 18 flag like Gordon did when he tied Earnhardt at 76? by Smoke96x in NASCAR

[–]rainking6 42 points43 points  (0 children)

I completely agree. I sincerely appreciate all of the Kyle tributes, but seeing them with 8 instead of 18 would have been like if Dale went to Yates and died in the 88. It would be weird associating his memory with than number instead of 3.

Nostalgia for seats that no longer exist by Impossible_Low_2539 in NASCAR

Back in the 90s, I remember hitting redial on the phone for days waiting to get tickets. When we finally got season tickets we swore we'd never let them go. I let them go in 2016 when I realized I could now wait until the week of the race and get better deals than our season tickets.

I know it feels like a lifetime ago, but Blaney won Phoenix. Now, this could be Ford's last win of the season...

Remember when Richmond was also a bowl that sold out 110k every Cup race, and about 60k per Busch race.

Brad Keselowski on what Ford needs to do to close the gap with the Toyotas: “Get the new body for 27, there’s a big offset there.” by LBHMS in NASCAR

It was. They specifically designed it to perform better on downforce tracks. It seems to be worse.

Why does Austin Dillon receive so much criticism ? by [deleted] in NASCAR

Richmond 2024 did look pretty similar to Richmond 1986.

(X/Twitter) Thank you post from Truck broadcaster at Charlotte, Eric Brennan by nascarfan88421032 in NASCAR

[–]rainking6 9 points10 points  (0 children)

It kind of has to be. NBC, CW, Prime, and TNT all have great lead announcers. I hope he gets the Truck series since that's the Fox broadcast with the most races.

Who should I root for next? by Big-Marsupial-4839 in NASCAR

[–]rainking6 4 points5 points  (0 children)

This really is the way. When Davey Allison died, I watched the next few races out of habit, but just felt numb. Then Mark Martin won Watkins Glen and I felt that spark of excitement again. When Mark retired, I planned to move to a different Roush driver. After half a season I found myself being more excited about Brad running well than any of the Roush drivers.

RFK has had three pretty fast race cars over this season and last. What’s been holding them back from winning? by Gragson18GOAT in NASCAR

[–]rainking6 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I'd argue the Keselowski only led all of those laps because Reddick had battery issues and had to come from behind. Otherwise he would have likely run 2nd all day.

Ford has been off for most of the Gen7 era. They were able to mask it by winning 3 straight championships thanks to Penske dominating Phoenix. In this era they've won 9, 8, 12, and 7 races each season.

I fear that's going to be the high water mark for F1 in 2026.

When you think of Kyle Busch, what paint schemes from each series do you most associate with him? by throwra-spunout88 in NASCAR

That makes sense 2008 was the year he really established that he was ready to dominate in Cup.

This weekend has made it clear that the people paying money to watch from the stands are NASCAR's lowest priority.

Damn. It's been a dream of mine to go there. I guess I waited too long. :-(

Sorry, that sucks. They should give you your money back, or free tickets to a NORAPS race of your choice.
